Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha spoke about Fatos Nano's file, stressing that he did not make the file nor did he add any facts to it.
Asked by the journalist Mentor Kikia, Berisha revealed why he did not put Nano in prison, in 2005 when he took power, Berisha said that Fatos Nano had been in prison once.
Fatos Nano was imprisoned once. Absolutely, Berisha's government has not added a single fact, a piece of evidence, a single document to Fatos Nano's file. Shano Korbeci made the file with the socialist government. Go if you want, because you take it, it's there, you found a clue. The file was ready, it was not done by us ," Berisha told News 24.
Excerpts from the discussions:
Kikia : I would like to go back in time, when Nano was prime minister and you were in the opposition, we still have fresh accusations about the greed ensemble, the mammoth of corruption, the former Minister of Finance, and in 2015 when you came to power, the staff of Nanos had received their visas and they all ran away, because they had a panic that a great justice will happen here, but no one was held accountable. You were in the government and Rama was in the opposition, no accusation was left without being made by the opposition against you. The socialists came, none of you took responsibility. Now the socialists are in power and you are in opposition, same story. Now in your banner it seems as if something is missing "Rama ik se boll vodeh, it's our turn now".
Berisha : You add that.
Kikia : I follow the logic, because no government, when it came to power, dealt with the corruption of its predecessors, but simply continued the same thing it found laid.
Berisha : Is it possible to verify it? You said about Fatos Nano, it is very true, you are very right, it was a political decision. Why was it political? Fatos Nano was imprisoned once. Absolutely, Berisha's government has not added a single fact, a piece of evidence, a single document to Fatos Nano's file. Shano Korbeci made the file with the socialist government. Go if you want, because you take it, it's there, you found a clue. The file was ready, it was not done by us. But, I recognized another merit to Fatos Nanos, that he agreed to do the rotation. Someone told me, but I didn't leave it to him, he told me what attitude I would take, and I said that I appreciate him this moment and I don't care that he was once in prison and I had nothing to do... Absolutely , even if I go behind the sun, Edi Rama will keep an account./BW
